[quote=Anonymous]I find that there are some people who just need to complain about something. They feel strongly about this or that and need to externalize it. I don’t bother arguing whether their opinion is valid or not. I just respond back with a paraphrase and a question about what they want to see happen. I use a sincere, calm and respectful tone. “So you feel that it’s unfair that your company is making you redo the widget report. That sounds really frustrating. What do you think you want to do about it?” “It sounds like you’re tired of Bob always parking on our side of the street. You think he should park next to his own driveway. What do you want to do about it?” “Wow. You seem really bothered by that Megan Markle. It bothers you that she married Harry and convinced him to leave England. What do you think you might do to manage your frustration?”[/quote]
